The first Half was a display of complete domination by Haryana Steelers over the Gujarat Fortunegiants led by their star raider Vikas Kandola. The Gujarat defense, despite having the best tackle success rates in Season 7, struggled to contain the Haryana raiding duo of Prashant Kumar Rai and Vikas Kandola, as the Steelers steered ahead. An All-Out inflicted on the Fortunegiants with a 3-point raid in the 15th minute of the first half gave Haryana an 8-point lead where Sunil Kumar and Parvesh Bhainswal both struggled to contain Kandola. Ruturaj Koravi successfully tackled Vikas Kandola twice in the first half but that was not enough to stop Haryana from bagging a massive lead of 9 points going into the second half.

The fifth Minute of the second half witnessed another All-Out inflicted on the Fortunegiants with the likes of Ravi Kumar and Vikas Kale seen back in form for the Steelers. Support from Vinay and Prashanth for Kandola kept the defense of Gujarat in disarray throughout the second half.
